Rue is a very old cultivated plant with long magical associations. It's also an important larval host plant for butterflies so if you want them in your garden, by all means plant rue!
In Uruguay we call it RUDA (Roo-da). It's very common to use it for protection against "bad / negative energy". If you grow it in your front yard or near your front door it will keep evil spirits away. It's also used to bless newborns and heal babies & toddlers when they're sick.
In Mexico 🇲🇽 too do you use for evil eye bc in Mexico we use it for evil eye we rub a fresh raw egg on the rue leaves & rue water along with Florida water,ground peppercorns,sometimes Marijuana & add secret ingredient which is saliva to remove the evil eye & also for minor aches & joint pain with some methol,camphor, & eucalyptus balm rub.
@@jodyj0 Nothing so elaborate I'm afraid. When used to sanctify / bless newborns we just take a small cutting of Rue with some leaves on it, dip it in holy water and sprinkle some on the child while saying a prayer.
Same thing in saudi we use it for protection from insects and bad demonic spirits Called Jinn By plant it around houses or by using its Oil for 7 days to remove bad energy and jinn while listening to Quran recitation.
This plant is special to me. Growing up in Ethiopia, my mother would put this in the milk every morning for breakfast. She would also use it for coffee. The smell brings back some of the best memories of my childhood. In my native language, it's called "tena' adam" which literally means "health of Adam". I envy the fact that you have it in your backyard.
We use it in Brazil against evil spirits and evil eyes. We call it “arruda”. Especially spiritualists grow it at home and keep a single leaf behind their left ear.
We’ve used this as medical: tea for nausea/vomiting/vertigo. Also in ear for ear aches. Also said to be good luck and yes ward of bad vibes! Old remedies from my mother, Mexico
I loved reading all your comments here learning how people from around the globe use this amazing plant. I’ve had one in my garden for several years and because I am about to move, she deposited a cute little baby rue seedling in a pot that was sitting out there!
It's such a coming healing resilient self sufficient plant I adore it,I've had rue plants all my life & my 81 grandma's ancestors have appreciated rue for generations & centuries.
That's wonderful! I have several plants that I inherited from my mother, and many of those plants in turn came from my grandmother. I love when plants have family history and think it's amazing that they can be propagated so that several generations can own the same plant. Also that tea recipe sounds super interesting and I might have to tinker with that!
@@TheGardenWitch I agree. I've recently felt the same. In fact, this fall I intend to gather clippings from my mother's garden to propagate and transplant them in mine, many of which are indigenous and have medicinal properties. They're a great heirloom to pass on to future generations, and like you said, it allows folks to create and write their own history, their own narrative. It's a powerful medium and a healthy one for the planet. :-)
We eat this in China lol... it's called smelly grass over here and we make desert out of them with mung beans, which is very common... it's quite easy you might even want to try it :D
@@cerberusguardianofthegates7104 Hey! im no expert in this art, but I've found a youtube video that can help you on this... and there is also some english subtitles so it could be useful
we too use it in the arab countries to protect babies and cleanse the house from jinn ,magic and evil things . here every house has this plant we love it, thank you for sharing.
@@jodyj0That's cool ..actually I live in Algeria it's a Mediterranean county , where I love it snows every year and this plant is one of the few plant that remains alive through the harsh winter
I leave in Utah and I have a Rue plant in a big container that has lived outside for about 3 years. It can tolerate our crazy weather 4 months of snow and heat temperatures of about 100F. I does not dye and has also tolerated very dry soil and very wet soil as well.
Very informative video! I pair Rue with Citronella and Lemon Grass to act as natural repellents. It's somewhat rare to find and its 'toxicity' pairs with Angel's Trumpet & Belladonna in the garden. I have made Rue, Rosemary, and Basil water before to bathe in and spray the home. This is a very beautiful and powerful plant!
I found your video because grew Rue Herb this spring and I wanted to learn more about this plant. I found Rue Herb at a garden center and bought it because I thought it was beautiful. I also raise caterpillars and knew this is a host plant for giant swallowtails. I planted the Rue Herb in a coconut fiber lined planter and it has absolutely flourished. I'm in zone 6B. I will probably have take it in durning the winter. I resonate with the smell of the plant and I think its scent is divine. I haven't reacted poorly to it. I love to run my hands through the plant. Thank you for your informative video.
Your Rue video is the most informative, interesting and you have the best and most beautiful Rue of all the other Rue plants used in so many videos. Love and light and happy planting
I’ve got it growing in one of my planters…definitely a really strong smell. You can just barely brush up against it and that’s all you smell on your hands or clothes. My wife’s family in Mexico said that a tea from this plant will induce a miscarriage of pregnant woman
Under ordinary circumstances I would encourage people to not use herbal abortifacients and seek out a medical professional, but now all I can say to women in the US is do your research and seek whatever help is available to you in your state
I've wanted to have rue for some time now, and am in central Oklahoma (zone 7).... I hope I can find some, locally. (Like from other gardeners who would share with me) ;) Thanks for talking about it here, and for sharing your gardening with us! *HUGS* Blessed Be!
It would definitely grow In Oklahoma. I partially reside in Fort Woth a few months of the year,but my rue plant planted in the house there year round & I know Oklahoma & Northern Texas have 99% identical climate/soil bc we are literally next door even if the terrain is slightly different.I know Oklahoma is more hilly,but my rue also grew in upstate NY for decades when my grandma lived there & when I did too.It also grows in my other current homes in woodsy warm Atlanta,semi arid/arid California high desert with its extreme day/night temperature shifts & my grandmas alpine cabin in the 9,000 ft. elevation mountain foothills of Central Mexico as well & these plants are of the toughest variety,if they can grow in the Canadian border & at 9,000 feet above sea level in the alpine highland/oceanic climate of mountainous Mexico they'll grow in the lower elevations of Oklahoma trust me like I said I have rue plants in 3 sections of my garden front yard,back yard & on the right side in a property of mine in Fort Worth,TX your neighbor & they're massive & grow beautifully. RUE can tolerate aridness,heat precipitation,humidity & cold very well.
It grows everywhere in my region wherever i put my leg there's rue plant. It has deep local cultural roots since thousands of years.. we use it for medecine, and some people still believe it has power against evil.
One of the first plants I started growing 💚Awesome thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️ an African friend of mine says traditionally in his culture they use the seeds in a charm to protect babies
Ruda, I just picked some the dried seed pods from a plant it seems got too much water from the rain and sprinkler it is on a 15 gallon pot. Moved it a dryer shaded area this time. The seeds are all the way from 1/8 to 1/32 in size. Thank you for the tip on how to get m started.
RUE is one of the most incredible plants in the world from my experience seeing it thrive & flourish in so many polar opposite climates & regions.Its incredibly resilient,adaptable & has all the tenacity to survive against all odds its a champion.
They are amazing I love rue its so hardy tolerant & durable I never watered mine in upstate NY I lived there for 25 years & my grandma lived therefor 40 years & they are very cold drought tolerant toughest of plants,I now live I split my time between Georgia, Texas & California & they grow here 💯astoundingly perfectly well, in Mexico where my grandma is originally from it also grows there abundantly.I'm impressed at how adaptable it is & it doesn't just grow in semi arid .Mediterranean climates like people claim,they can grow I'm cold,humid,hot,arid,alpine terrains they're just extraordinary resilience plants. My grandma,relatives & I use rue leaves 🍃 for medicinal treatment we mix it with Florida water,rue water,crushed whole peppercorns & I personally don't add Marijuana,but my 81 year old grandma & relatives do add that ingredient. We use rue rub sparingly for joint pain & headaches along with camphor,eucalyptus & menthol rubs for best results to relieve minor aches.
Rue is going to be my go to plant for the swallow tail cats. Dill, Queen Anne's, Fennel, etc get eaten down to nubs too fast by the cats. Right now, I have one rue plant holding its own against 10 cats. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up about not burying the rue seeds.
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I came about your video because my seeds are sprouting indoors, and now hopefully will transplant outdoor next spring, looking forward to the black swallowtails. Be blessed 💕
I just bought some from an online botanica here in Ca. It seems like it would grow everywhere kind of like a weed. Love the energy however it is toxic to dogs (just like most plants). Great video!
TRUST ME RUE IS INCREDIBLY ADAPTABLE & RESILIENT IT CAN WITHSTAND ARIDNESS ,HUMIDITY,FRIGIDNESS,SCORCHING HEAT, FLAT DRY CLAY SOIL,HILLY ROCKY TERRAIN ANYTHING LIFE THROWS AT IT. I GUARANTEE 💯 IT I'm an extensive not only traveler,but "mover" & I've lived & still split my time between my various homes in several states with very dissimilar climates,terrains & none of the regions are alike,but my rue plants thrive & flourish anywhere they're unbelievably resilient.
It's incredibly resilient & adaptable grandma had hers for decades in upstate NY on the Canadian border on the waters edge of frigid Lake Ontario it's an extraordinarily resilient plant.
Finally…FINALLY, got some rue established outside my door. Both male and female plants are blossoming beautifully. But…to my displeasure, I looked at the female plant this morning and…something, clipped the blossoms clean off. There are suspicious little nicks along the stem, just below where blossoms were. I suspect birds, as there are woodpeckers around. Have you had any such encounters?
@@TheGardenWitch Hmmm…let me go look…for caterpillars. Nope…no signs of caterpillars. Only signs are dark, purplish stains on leaves, which appear to be bird droppings. 😞
Don't eat it it's bitter it will give you an upset stomach its like eucalyptus to me,it's a magnificent gorgeous resilient adaptable plant & a great remedy for minor aches & has many healing powers,but its not edible to me even in teas I don't recommend it.
We use it in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 for abdominal cramp with milk for children and cold as well. And we always put it in our coffee. It is not advisable for pregnant women.
In Ethiopia we grew up with that plant. We call it TenaAdam... Loosely translated as health to Adam or Adam's health. We use some of it in coffee for the aroma.
California has perfect weather everything grows well there lol I know bc well I live here part time & in coastal SoCal the weather is semi arid Mediterranean exactly like where Rue originates from.
Just got a rue smudge stick from a sprit shop after I asked the working healer what would be good to heal the home of my roommate, landlord, and I of a home that has been left to accumulate energy that 4 men in their later 20s would leave over time. Wanted to start from scratch and deep spring clean the room. She recommended Rue Smudge. Any recommendations of proper rue smudging would be greatly appreciated. This video has lots of info. I burned it and it is funky lol
Definitely do it with the windows open- that way not only are you giving a way out for the spiritual funk but you're decreasing the smell from the rue, haha
Thanks so much! Such great information. Is it possible to purchase a sprig from you for the seeds? I’d trust it coming from you than ordering on line ❤️ 🌙
@@suzannezorich-feathers9281 ordinarily I don't sell seeds or plants . . . but I just happen to be putting some seed packets together for a local (to me) witch market in November, so I might have some left after that time. If I do I'll probably put them on my currently inactive Etsy shop, wrensgardenwitchery.etsy.com
Soak A Newly founded Wand into A Naturaly Self Made Wild Rue Oil Before You Infuse The Wand in Luna/Star Energy On A Hallwed Eve's Night. Energy Abounds Within This Plant Leaves, Flowers, Stems And Roots. Many Thanks For Sharing This Knowledge, BB!
I was told to grow this plant, and did not know anything about it. It has thrived with zero love. I recently found out it has been helping my raspberries via pest control. Interesting, I have never had a reaction to it. How can it be propagated? I feel like making cuttings is going to aerosolize the irritant
You can propagate rue pretty easily by taking a cutting and planting in in moist sand, as long as you keep it moist it should grow roots and become a new plant pretty quickly. However if you're going to grow rue indoors I hope you have a really good south-facing window; rue likes LOTS of sun and heat :)
Best way to propagate is to put mid to small stems in a glass of water. Give it light but not sunshine. It will then grow roots so you can THEN plant in soil....keep the soil wet
Yep, I've actually used my rue plant to make moretum, which was surprisingly tasty. Even in the current day you can find grappa with rue in some parts of Italy but that one I don't recommend 😅
Rue tend to like things on the dry side so watering is only needed if the soil is completely dry if it's in a pot, or if you've had less than half an inch (1cm) of rain in a week if it's in the ground
hi, thank you for your magical speech :). I also love the plant, and consider it my power plant. Its been dying on me for the passed months, just now got 2 3gallons plants in better soil, with the hope they will live longer. any tips on how often to water each pot ? 3 gallons in each pot. thank you
Oh no i have a small lemon tree and i see some of the leaves get eaten so i inspected and saw small caterpillars I thought they're worms so i take them out and kill them, i forget that there are caterpillars, only from reading this comment section i remembered there's such species 🤦 and i keep wondering from where did they come as the soil is clean😅 Next time i won't kill them tho the eaten lemon leaves is just annoying
To be fair the caterpillars can sometimes be destructive and hurt the plant in the long run. I leave the swallowtail caterpillars on my rue because that plant can handle it but will take them off my parsley. If you can find out what kind of caterpillar they are maybe you can find another plant they'd like to eat that you can offer in the place of your lemon
Hey, great video ! My rue is dying ;( it is all grown with very few green leaves. I have moved it to a new pot but it doesn’t seem to be thriving. I don’t know what to do! Any advise is greatly appreciated.
It's hard to say without knowing what it looks like, but if it's got a lot of woody growth on it with few leaves it can probably be pruned back some. Most herbs do well with pruning, and will put out an increase of bushier growth when you do it because the apical bud will decrease side growth- it's called apical dominance in botany circles :) You also want to make sure that potted rue has good drainage, it's one of those plants that doesn't like its roots to sit in water for a prolonged period
ID RECOMMEND PLANTING IT IN THE GROUND ITS MORE RESILIENT THAT WAY & SHOULD BE WATERED VERY SPARINGLY ITS A PLANT NATIVE TO A SEMI ARID & ARID REGION & SWAMPY CONDITIONS,TOO MUCH WATER WILL KILL IT.
In Uruguay we call it RUDA (Roo-da). It's very common to use it for protection against "bad / negative energy". If you grow it in your front yard or near your front door it will keep evil spirits away. It's also used to bless newborns and heal babies & toddlers when they're sick.

Just got a rue smudge stick from a sprit shop after I asked the working healer what would be good to heal the home of my roommate, landlord, and I of a home that has been left to accumulate energy that 4 men in their later 20s would leave over time. Wanted to start from scratch and deep spring clean the room. She recommended Rue Smudge. Any recommendations of proper rue smudging would be greatly appreciated. This video has lots of info. I burned it and it is funky lol
Definitely do it with the windows open- that way not only are you giving a way out for the spiritual funk but you're decreasing the smell from the rue, haha
@@TheGardenWitch thank you
ITS AN INCREDIBLY HEALING CLEANSING PLANT I LOVE IT TO WARD OFF EVIL EYE TOO GOOD LUCK!
@@TheGardenWitch To cleanse negative energy or use for protection would it be ok to cut a little piece and put it in your pocket?
Thanks so much! Such great information. Is it possible to purchase a sprig from you for the seeds? I’d trust it coming from you than ordering on line ❤️ 🌙
@@suzannezorich-feathers9281 ordinarily I don't sell seeds or plants . . . but I just happen to be putting some seed packets together for a local (to me) witch market in November, so I might have some left after that time. If I do I'll probably put them on my currently inactive Etsy shop, wrensgardenwitchery.etsy.com
Oh that’s great! Will keep an eye out! Thanks
Soak A Newly founded Wand into A Naturaly Self Made Wild Rue Oil Before You Infuse The Wand in Luna/Star Energy On A Hallwed Eve's Night. Energy Abounds Within This Plant Leaves, Flowers, Stems And Roots. Many Thanks For Sharing This Knowledge, BB!
I was told to grow this plant, and did not know anything about it. It has thrived with zero love. I recently found out it has been helping my raspberries via pest control. Interesting, I have never had a reaction to it. How can it be propagated? I feel like making cuttings is going to aerosolize the irritant
I've found that it grows readily and easily from seed, and usually have at least a few volunteers every year
Thank you
its very good to burn and smells heavenly. Thanks for awesome information.
Thank you!!
It over winters after established.Came back after our big Texas freeze:)
Oh boy, when you burn it it cleanses well...
Very nice mam
Will they make you high? If u've taken in the form of tea
how do you propagate rue, i just received one as a gift and am hoping i can grow it successfully indoors :)
You can propagate rue pretty easily by taking a cutting and planting in in moist sand, as long as you keep it moist it should grow roots and become a new plant pretty quickly. However if you're going to grow rue indoors I hope you have a really good south-facing window; rue likes LOTS of sun and heat :)
The Garden Witch thank you! love your channel by the way, keep it up 💗
Best way to propagate is to put mid to small stems in a glass of water. Give it light but not sunshine. It will then grow roots so you can THEN plant in soil....keep the soil wet
We use this in Ethiopian coffee
Nice. Nice.
Interesting info about rue...it makes a frequent appearance in many surviving cooking recipes from Greco-Roman times.
Yep, I've actually used my rue plant to make moretum, which was surprisingly tasty. Even in the current day you can find grappa with rue in some parts of Italy but that one I don't recommend 😅
Ima try this for Pcos sick or not having my period I want to have a family eventually so I want to cure this disease !
Dry the seeds and use it for yogurt and milk
I'm using the soap to bath with and also the candle
my cat sleeps next to my rue plant haha
You mentioned it can be propagated by cuttings. Hardwood or soft floweres etc what part of the plant? Water or soul medium? Tthanks!
The last 6 inches of new growth are the best part to use, and a moist soil medium should work. ☺️
@@TheGardenWitch thank you i will give it a try!!
Thanks 🙏🏽👍🏿
Can i keep this plant inside? Does the magenta les light replace the lack of sun for this plant? Thank you!!
I've never kept it inside personally but I'm always a fan of trying things out 😉
How do i take care of it ?i recently bought one and i have no idea if it should be watered daily or not 😔... anything would help
Rue tend to like things on the dry side so watering is only needed if the soil is completely dry if it's in a pot, or if you've had less than half an inch (1cm) of rain in a week if it's in the ground
No never water daily it's a plant native to arid & semi arid regions it likes dry soil
I was told to water my rue every day should I stop that completely I noticed it’s turning a bit yellow :((
Yeah that sounds like too much water to me. You only need to water when the soil 1 inch deep is dry to the touch
Host plant for the Swallowtails
hi, thank you for your magical speech :). I also love the plant, and consider it my power plant. Its been dying on me for the passed months, just now got 2 3gallons plants in better soil, with the hope they will live longer. any tips on how often to water each pot ? 3 gallons in each pot. thank you
Rue can tolerate drier conditions pretty well, personally I would probably wait until the soil in the pot is fully dry before watering each time
Thank you. Will do :)
3:12 be careful with water too you can drown in it. It is possible.
Oh no i have a small lemon tree and i see some of the leaves get eaten so i inspected and saw small caterpillars
I thought they're worms so i take them out and kill them, i forget that there are caterpillars, only from reading this comment section i remembered there's such species 🤦 and i keep wondering from where did they come as the soil is clean😅
Next time i won't kill them tho the eaten lemon leaves is just annoying
To be fair the caterpillars can sometimes be destructive and hurt the plant in the long run. I leave the swallowtail caterpillars on my rue because that plant can handle it but will take them off my parsley. If you can find out what kind of caterpillar they are maybe you can find another plant they'd like to eat that you can offer in the place of your lemon
Hey, great video ! My rue is dying ;( it is all grown with very few green leaves. I have moved it to a new pot but it doesn’t seem to be thriving. I don’t know what to do!
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
It's hard to say without knowing what it looks like, but if it's got a lot of woody growth on it with few leaves it can probably be pruned back some. Most herbs do well with pruning, and will put out an increase of bushier growth when you do it because the apical bud will decrease side growth- it's called apical dominance in botany circles :) You also want to make sure that potted rue has good drainage, it's one of those plants that doesn't like its roots to sit in water for a prolonged period
ID RECOMMEND PLANTING IT IN THE GROUND ITS MORE RESILIENT THAT WAY & SHOULD BE WATERED VERY SPARINGLY ITS A PLANT NATIVE TO A SEMI ARID & ARID REGION & SWAMPY CONDITIONS,TOO MUCH WATER WILL KILL IT.
I like pie better than cake, too
YES. I only wish it wasn't weird to put birthday candles on pie 🤣
from morroco 😍😍😍
I found all mine on Etsy
